Tallahassee Surgical Malpractice Lawyers

When A Surgical Procedure Makes Things Worse Instead Of Better

Undergoing surgery comes with risks; however, the majority of those risks can be avoided if the surgical team pays attention and does the job correctly. When an individual or the team as a whole fails, your life can be on the line. If you or someone you love has been harmed by surgical malpractice, our Tallahassee attorneys will hold those responsible for surgery errors accountable for their actions.

The law firm of Hinkle & Foran has an excellent reputation for resolving complicated medical malpractice cases. Many Florida lawyers refer their difficult cases to us because they know we achieve results, as evidenced by our list of verdicts and settlements. We can do this because we prepare each case for trial, we offer the quality customer service that only a small firm can provide and we have the resources to see every case through to its end. Our goal is to conclude your case to your satisfaction.

Failing To Follow Their Own Best Practices

Surgical teams have specific procedures they are required to follow to avoid making mistakes. Unfortunately, many of these are rushed or overlooked in the interest of time. Errors during surgery can have lasting effects on you, the patient. Common errors we have seen and pursued compensation for include:

Surgery on the wrong part of the body

Unnecessary surgery

Nicking or cutting organs or tissue surrounding the surgical location

Misreading or ignoring laboratory results and X-rays

Failure to follow up with a patient after surgery

Premature discharge of a patient

Delaying surgery

Surgical instruments or materials left inside the body

Post-surgery infections

Our attorneys will review your medical records as well as surgical procedures and any prior hospital misconduct. We consult with medical professionals as to how the negligence occurred and how you will be affected by the surgical error in the long run. We know the harm you have suffered is real, and we want to help you by recovering compensation for your injury as well as others by preventing these errors from happening again.
